What our happy campers say

“We had a fantastic few days away in Barbarella, to help us decide whether we’d like to become campervan owners ourselves! Anthony and Jane were super helpful and always replied very quickly to any questions I had. The handover was really comprehensive. Barbarella is a brilliant van and really nicely kitted out – we had a wonderful time and are definitely hooked! Many thanks again.”

Lucy – October 2020

“Wonderful experience from the moment we arrived at the pick up location, Barbarella was super clean, had everything you needed for a relaxing stay. Little touches like cleaning materials, cloths, camp chairs really helped. Great handover with Anthony at the start and end and contact if you needed any advice. Best Camper Van in Dorset.”
